George Price (Conseryative), resuming
the debate in the HOUSE Of Commons On Fri.
day evening On Mr.. Gladssoue's motion 70
appoint committee 70 inquire into the
Times chargee against Mr.. Dillon, sugGested,
commission Be- appointed 70 Inquire into III
the charges against the PsrnelltteA He aaid
he made the suggestion on his own responsi.
blity. He asked the lriah memberA on this
day above .il others the annivsr.s.y Of the
obstacles In the way Of an impartial inquiry.
Sir Henry james regretted that responsible
speakers among the Liberals had asserted
that the administration Of justice In England
. fair trial could be obtained on the issues
involved In this controversy. He asked
what single instance could be given to prove
this scandalous assertion. He defed Sir
Charles Russell to point out q single case In
support Of such statement. II English com.
mitteemen were just, why not jurymen In Q
Law courte II members Of the House had
regard for their reputation the courts Of Law
were open to assist them to vindicate their
character and punish q libeious offender.
Mr.. Healy said that every possible aues-
tion seemed worthy Of inquiry by the House
except question affecting the character of
its membsra The ParneIlites did not care .
pinch OF snuff whether they got this inquiry
or not, but If the government majority re.
fused this nquiry the name OF British gen.
ueman would be placed on level with that
OF an Indian thug. The PArnellites chal.
lenged the Tories to combat at once On this
question. They would stand on no technical
references, but would meet any charges
brought against them. From the decision Of
| majority OF the House the PArnellites
| would appeal to the public outside and TO
other nationA The Irish people never sent
them there to beg favors, but to demand
their rights. In spite OF all obstacles they
would in time obtain their rights ICheerA
Major Ssunderson said he did not wonder
l that Mr. Gladstone tried to whtewsah his
Irish friends who were now supporting his
policy. Why, he asked, should the House
appoint committee to inquire into charges
sustained by such proofs Ss the Times Of
fered He challenged Mr.. Dillon to dis
| prove the Times evidence
Mr.. Dillon-l have offered to enter into
the charges fully before . committee.
| shall no longer exchange the lie with mem
bers OF the House over them. tCheers
MIR. Henry Fowler, member for East Vol
| verhampton, Liberal, said he must decline
to believe that English juries were infallible
| especially when . political question WAS in
| volved. He reminded the House q typical
instance OF the gross injustice done Lord
Cochrane. Was special jury drawn frou
| London traders, he asked, better qualified Il
deal with the question than . committee se
lected from the members OF Parliament
The Parpellites did not desire to limit the In
| quiry. He had telegram from Mr.. Parnel
stating that he was quite willing to extent
the inquiry 80 as to include the forged lstte
| published by the Times. CheerA
Mr.. Glsdstone's motion WAS rejected by
| vote of 3l7 to 2S3 and Sir Edward Clarke
motion, that the House decline to trsa. tn
Times publication ss . breach OF privilege
was agreed to.
